Video of Wujiao and Renjom Gompa

This is the tiny Mosuo village (Rock called it Vudju) half way between Yongning and Muli, where Rock stayed in 1927, at the small monastery of Renjom Gompa. It is still an overnight stop on the hike between Lugu Lake and Muli.

Dr Joseph Rock was an Austrian-American botanist who explored the Tibetan borderlands of Sichuan and Yunnan in the 1920s and 30s. This is about my travels to revisit the places he described in the National Geographic magazine. Any questions? contact me at beijingweek AT gmail
